Holy crap, the only reason I didn't get eliminated was due to a non-post of a weight from someone on the other team. I need to kick it into gear!!!

mszSHOGAN

BOOOO we lost the weigh-in!!!!! :grumble:

Dot - Use it as motivation for this week!

My weekend has gone pretty much as planned. I did eat a *small* piece of cake at the party, but skipped the pizza and sugary drinks so that's PROGRESS! I'm getting some school work done then time for football and trying some new finger-food recipes. I'll post if they turn out good!

Don't get discourged ladies. This weigh-in is very acurate anyway because most people bindged the night before our first weigh in causing larger starting weights. We'll be okay. Super lucky someone didn't weigh in though so we still have our whole team:bigsmile:

Bummer we didn't win team- but from the looks of it we had very good losses- so let's beat 'em net week!

I went without the HRM and I'm glad I did- holy mud lol. What an AWESOME event though- hubs is HOOKED. and of course so am I.

Had an awesome night with Kim and her family!!

With all the phone let me tell ya... I.... HURT! lol Thankfully hubs is helping me with todays daily tasts bc man, I'm out lol.

SO glad someone didn't weigh in so we still have our team!

Its okay, we'll do better this time around.

Well, to be honest I haven't been good this weekend...but tomorrow and Tuesday will be VERY good days!

No sleep, sick toddler and busy husband = mommy grabbing snacks all day....

I totally agree with you - and I think some people weigh in the first week fully clothed. I was scared enough to see the weight stark naked..so mine was pretty accurate. LMAO!!! Holy crap I need to kick the next 2 days in high gear or I will be honest.. .Wednesday will be a sad day for me. So..starting tomorrow morning...lots of hard work for me to do.

mamaturner - saw some pictures on fb...looks like a blast! Was it cold? I know it was cold by me (3 hours from there)...I assume it was a cold moment in that mud. LOL!!

Super awesome job Katie with staying on track!!

Amy - you'll do great this week!!

Ok team....are we gonna win it this week? I hope I can pull off at least a 1 lb loss for the team!! UGH!

mamaturner

Yes- I agree. I'm not a fan of people possibly weighing in the first one with clothes on. In my opinion that's cheating. But oh well.. we'll see if it helped or hinders them in the end.

It was perfect weather until we got wet- then it was cold!- still sore in the pectorals and thigs- very bad thighs!!

Just_Dot

I had my clothes on (took my shoes off though) because I was weighing in on the scale in the PE equipment room at school. Maybe I'll weigh in with my volleyball stuff (shorts and t) and not my work clothes. Didn't even think of that...

Morning Friends! How'd everyones weekend go? I did okay I think. I had a munchy day on Saturday but a lot of it was veggies. I also made a cobbler with the blackberries we picked instead of smoothes:embarassed: :ohwell: and have been picking at that all weekend. It was super easy to make and so delish but i can't help to think I could make it heathier somehow. Most cobblers I found added tons and tons of sugar so this is the one I went with. The recipe was 4cups blackberries, 1/2 cup butter, and one box of cake mix. So if I could sub the butter with something and use an alternative cake mix this might be a pretty decent recipe. Is there a such thing as low cal or reduced fat cake mix?

Sorry, i'll get off the topic of desserts now! I found an awesome restaraunt last night... It's called Venti's and they have a mix of different ethnic foods and a huge selection of vegitarian dishes! Most of the options were fairly healthy. Even the kids menu come with apples, carrots, or applesauce instead of fries... I that! I had a spicy curry... It had all sorts of delishious veggies with a light sauce served over rice. My husband had blackend Rockfish that was absolutely awesome too!
The only downfall was that the serving sizes were huge (Oh and that its a taphouse with 22 different beers on tap :drinker:) Definatly got to be aware of how much you are eating. I can't wait to go back there.

Aprilstar480

I've weighed with and without clothes just to see what the difference is and its usually only a few ounces. I'm not so sure clothes is as much of an issue as those who went out and had steak dinners and lushed it up as a final dinner before getting serious. I know I did that last round but this time I just want to lose weight and I feel guilty when I eat like crap so I didn't .

Haha, I weighed in the first time with socks on (It was cold in our house) and didn't realize how funny that looked until I saw everyones toes on the weigh in I also decided when I lose 10 I am getting a pedicure!!! only 4 more pounds to go....

So I made a casserole thats loaded with Dairy because my husband requested it. I have to figure out something different to eat tonight while I watch them enjoy the dish. What are you all eating? Ideas?

mamaturner

I know it's not the hugest issue- I guess I got a visual of someone wearing like 3 layers of shirts LOL.

And Dot that's a good point about the public scale lol.

Dinner for me is some homemade chicken noodle soup and a ceasar salad - I had a coupon for the kit bag-lettuce, dressing and croutons- not sure if I'll have 'em- I do have some left over bacon to add instead.. if I can make myself choose just one!!

mszSHOGAN

Hi ladies!!!! :flowerforyou:

My weekend was successful. I got on the scale to take a peek yesterday and was happy with what I saw. Just got to keep up being "good" so I can report that loss on Wednesday! I'm on my break at class right now, thought I'd check in with you all!

Just_Dot

We had a "sort of" chicken-tortilla soup. It's my husbands favorite thing in the world...and it's pretty low cal/fat. I got to add a bunch of stuff from our garden into it, so that was fun.

Whoooot!

I weighed myself today and i'm up 2 lbs. Seriously. Stayed under cals just about every day the last week...however, TOM is due in a day or two and I ate SALTY soup last night so I'm hoping that's all it was. Better be!!!

Aprilstar480

Stupid TOM !!! I battled that pre- TOM crap last week. And now this week I feel icky and don't wanna workout! I played WII instead today though... that was fun:bigsmile: I actually recorded all my food intake today also!!! I haven't done that for quite a while so I'm pretty proud of myself.

Katie... Keep up the good work:flowerforyou:

Amy... I soooo want to have my own garden but my yard sucks. The only thing its really good for is slip-n-slidding or sledding (usually in the mud since we rarely get snow):grumble:

mszSHOGAN

TOM is a real son of a b!tch! :mad: He had me going through it the past few weeks. I'm over it now, but have it to look forward to in another few weeks. Like we don't have enough *kitten* going on in our lives - do we really need that *kitten* popping up EVERY month? :grumble:

Irish - Hang in there! :flowerforyou:

We did a garden 2 years ago, this past summer I didn't have it in me because I was doing painting/decorating projects inside the house. BUT next summer it'll be back!

C'mon ladies we need to get it together for this week's weigh-in!!!! Seems like a few of us are struggling a bit and I don't want our team to lose and have to drop a player. WE CAN DO THIS!!!!!!!

Anyone have any specific goals this week?

I've been slowly trying to get back to the big "loser" I was a while back (got down to 52 lbs lost) and have slowly gotten my eating in check and trying to add in workouts. I've only been able to squeeze in (and have energy) for 1-2 workouts the past two weeks, so my goal is to add another workout for this week. Now.....I just need to figure out where it'll go....

mamaturner

My goal is to keep my sanity! lol

I'll admit- I should have hopped on the scale right away sunday- I did this morning finally- uuuuggghh 4# up. I think it's all water weight- I'm already at 5 glasses of water and doin good. It's the drinkin Saturday and good ol' TOM who was previously mentioned. I agree Katie- why the hell do we get stuck with it!! lol

I love gardening- I finally did one this year- it was a sad one though. Ahh well.

I'll be able to grow more and more often in TX! lol They're growing season is like 300 days out of the year!!

Goal for the rest of the day- low sodium and LOTS OF WATER! For sure a chicken caeser salad for dinner... but what about lunch!? hmmm..

mszSHOGAN

Jessica - Maybe get in a good workout to sweat out some of that water?

I'm eating chili for lunch, perfect fall meal!

This weekend will likely involve a ton of sodium for me, we're taking my MIL to Joe's Crab Shack for her birthday dinner. I can't resist a steam pot, they're SSSSOOO good! :ohwell: I just have to make sure I work out to sweat that crap out (I already drink oodles of water every day). AND I have to be "good" the rest of the week too!

mamaturner

Oh yea I'm drinking the water- I just finished #7- I'm having some rice with some beef roast (sooo good) and should keep my nice and full for a while.

I'm very tempted to pop in a workout video- hubs is sleeping til 3 and baby girl goes down at 1. Thinkin I may need to!!

mmmm chili

mszSHOGAN

Jessica - Keep drinking that aqua woman! Roast sounds yummy! Another GREAT fall dish.....hmmm.....note to self: buy a roast for the crock pot.

Just_Dot

I'm trying to drink more water and on the days I can't exercise (like today...volunteered in my son's class during my planning period and then parent-teacher conference tonight) I'm really going to try and stay below my calories. I will be hard, because I'll be craving a post-conference glass of wine, but I'll be strong!

Aprilstar480

Strong like Bull....Roooaaarrrr!!! Hehe... my husband says that to me all the time:bigsmile:

Drink up ladies:drinker: :drinker: We can do this!

I need to get something going for dinner so I'm not eating too late. I try to not eat after 9pm but I have no stinkin' idea what I want. I'm at work so my options are limited :grumble: I shoulda brought something with me! I went for a run AND boxed on the Wii for 30 minutes today though so I'm feeling pretty good. I REALLY want to get one of those HRM things or what ever to track my calories burn and distance ran cause I'm guesstimating but I think I have increased my speed....Whooo hooo! Feeling really good today :flowerforyou:

mamaturner

Total of 136 ounces of water today- aaaaiiiihhh!

Hang in there Dot you can do it!!

April HRM's are TOTALLY worth it!

Sad- I think I'll have to make a run to the store tomorrow and get a new scale... mine's not working again- just sick of it!!

irishgal44

Holy water ladies!!! LOL!! Well, this morning I weighed myself and I will break even tomorrow or hopefully have a small loss if the scale reflects my low cal day. Again, SCREW TOM!! LOL

losemybabyweight

Great Job everyone!! Itsonly the second week and we WILL overcome!

I don't miss TOM one bit!!! Sorry for those of you that have to go through it right now...but look at it this way - next week you won't have this problem???

I hopped on the scale first thing this morning and I was down another four pounds?!?!? SO we'll see if it still is tomorrow...I was reALLY bad tonight with sweets - has been a LONG day for me.

losemybabyweight

WOOHOO!!!! Still down 4 pounds!

How is everyone else doing today??? We can overcome even with a 1 pound disadvantage!!!

mamaturner

Nervous Nervous Nervous- have to go get a new scale. We'll see how accurate mine was... but the other day when I hopped on (before it went all crazy) I was up 4 pounds... later that day, 7! WHHHHHAAAT!? I ate right- got in a "cleaning workout" nothing like working out while scrubbin on your hands and knees lol.

So we will find out- but I'm not excited! Hoping before I leave for lunch- I had coffee and a granola bar and I'm bringing my 36 oz water bottle with for my store to store adventure of errands.

mszSHOGAN

Amy – Good idea upping the water! Mmmm…..wiiiiinnnneee……

Kasi – WTG on the run AND the boxing! :drinker: I don’t have class tonight so I’m going for a run after work (granted it’s not raining). I agree that the HRM is a GREAT tool to have to help you along your way. Some people are disappointed with theirs, but mine has always seemed to do what it’s supposed to do. Your best bet is to buy a Polar one, they’re expensive, but I bought a cheapy one before I got my Polar and it was GARBAGE! :grumble:

Anne – WTG on the loss! Keep rocking and rolling! :bigsmile:

Jessica - Good luck with the weigh-in! Just think happy thoughts! :flowerforyou:

I was down 2 pounds today! YAY! :happy: I’ll upload my pic on the other thread when I get home from work. I didn’t get in a workout over the weekend as I had planned, so I’m guessing that’s why I didn’t lose more. Oh well, I’ll take 2 pounds!
